IMBRUGLIA NATALIE - "torn" Tablature

Artist: Natalie Imbruglia
Song: Torn (Album Left Of The Middle)
Tabbed by: John Leadman


The chord positions I use are the ones I think are used in the
song. But when you're playing on your acoustic at home it is
much easier to just play open position chords and it sounds good
too. But these are the correct ones I think.
I've tabbed all the main parts for the electric guitar. These
seem to be missing in all the tabs I've seen for this song.



CHORDS:


F1 (xx3211) F (133211) Dm (x57765)
Fsus4 (xx3311) Am (577555) C (8-10-10-9-8-8)
Fsus2 (xx3011) Bb7 (686766) Bb (688766)



INTRO:

F1 Fsus4 F1 Fsus2


VERSE 1:

F
I thought I saw a man brought to life

Am Bb7
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified


He showed me what it was to cry


VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]

But you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for
I don't know him anymore


What the electric guitar plays in the pre-chorus goes
something like this:
Dm C Am C
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------10----------------8--------------5----------------8--|
G|-------10-----------------9---------------5---------------9--------|
D|-----12----12----------10----10---------7----7---------10----10----|
A|---12----------------10---------------7--------------10------------|
E|-10----------------8----------------5--------------8---------------|



PRE-CHORUS:

Dm
There's nothing where, he used to lie

C
My conversation has run dry

Am C
That's what going on


Nothing's fine I'm

CHORUS:

F
Torn

C
I'm all out of faith

Dm
This is how I feel

Bb
I'm cold and I am shamed

F
lying naked on the floor

C
Illusion never changed

Dm
into something real

Bb
I'm wide awake and I can see

F
the perfect sky is torn

C
You're a little late

Dm Bb
I'm already torn

in Verse 3:

VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]

So I guess the fortuneteller's right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now


PRE-CHORUS: [play like first pre-chorus]

I don't care, I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There just so many things
that I can't touch I'm


CHORUS: [play like first chorus]

Torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn


BRIDGE:

Dm Bb
Torn

Dm F C

My inspiration has run dry
That's what going on
Nothing's right I'm

bound and broken on the floor

You're a little late
